Greece

Epidavros is near the Aegean on the
eastern side of the Peloponnese. It is the home of a beautifully
preserved Greek ampitheater. We, to our surprise, had a bus load
of Serbian tourist pull in after we arrived. Several of them went
to the middle of the 'stage' (sand circle at the bottom of the theater)
and sang some Serbian folk songs, so we got to experience first-hand just
how wonderful the acoustics are in this theater. We all climbed to the
very top of the theater. Alea counted 117 steps, but Breck and mom
lost count.

Mom and Dad pose for Breck, who then returns
the favor and acts like a statue with Alea.

Dad does the discus.

The kids were real troopers while we explored
the ancient site of Asclepius. They thought all the fallen rocks
were just that - fallen rocks - and after about 20 minutes of exploring
settled in to play restaurant. Here they serve Susan some delicious
mud pizza and stick french fries.The mosaic floor tiles amazed us.
We imagined all the people whose feet had walked over them on their way
to the baths at Asclepius - truly a momnet of 'common denominator' with
the human experience.
